Senators to really pay attention to this, as it is a very serious issue, because almost all the sewage from Nairobi, Lavington, western regions, the CBD, Parklands and Eastlands all converge at the trunk around Dandora, and that is the one that broke down spilling raw sewerage into the following rivers: Nairobi River, Athi River, Galana River and the Sabaki River; and it has been doing that from April, 2013. It is only in September this year; about five months later, that this team visited and discovered it. They further stated that the volume received at the plant had gone down and it was established that all the sewage from the pipeline was, indeed, getting into Nairobi River because part of the sewer had been swept away by the floods. The team later went to Fourteen Falls and the inspection report was brought to the top management of the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA), who quickly visited the site on 6th October, 2013. The team consisted of the Director-General of NEMA, Kiambu County Secretary of Environment and Sanitation, officers from Athi Water Services Board and Nairobi Water and Sewerage Company. While at the site, Athi Water Services Board and Nairobi Water and Sewerage Company informed the team that they were aware of the collapse of the sewer trunk line two days after the collapse in April. They promised to do everything The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
